Kylee

I'm Kylee and I was born June 18th, 2009. I'm "extra" special- I have an extra chromosome 21 otherwise known as Down Syndrome. I was also born with 2 heart defects- Tetralogy of Fallot with complete common AV canal defect. I had a successful repair on January 13th, 2010 and will hopefully not need any further surgical intervention. I also was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia and had surgery on my right hip and am awaiting surgery on my left. Intracranial hypertension is my most recent diagnosis. All I have been through and i am still a happy, strong girl.

This is a video made by another heart mom for congenital heart defects awareness. The kids in the video have either had heart surgery(s), are awaiting surgery, or sadly have passed away. Kylee is in the middle of the video.
